Water Woes Continue To Plague Norman Apartment Complex

It's been nearly a week since News 9 first reported on Ashton Place Apartments, and not much of anything has been done to correct the issues, according to tenants.

Since News 9's first story aired, residents have contacted News 9 with similar maintenance and water woes.

Since Ashton Place representatives will not talk, it is still a mystery as to where much of the water is coming from.

NORMAN, Oklahoma -

Flooding issues at a metro apartment complex have residents
spending the long holiday weekend dealing with a never-ending stench and health
concerns.

It's been nearly a week since News 9 first reported on Ashton
Place Apartments, and not much of anything has been done to correct the issues,
according to tenants. Some residents have been placed in a hotel. Others have
had to spend their Thanksgivings in a wet mess.

Earlier in the week, News 9 showed viewers home video of the
flooding at its worst. Since then, Ashton Place has paid for LarBraire
Edmundson and her children to live in a nearby hotel. Although, the complex has
since turned a blind eye on some of her neighbors, tenants claim.

Bennett says it's more than a leaking ceiling that has her in
tears. While Bennett's mom was receiving in-home hospice care at Ashton Place,
Bennett says Ashton Place sent her an eviction notice because too many people
were staying in the unit. Bennett says relatives were simply visiting her dying
mother.

Ashton Place's leasing office was closed for Thanksgiving. Earlier
in the week, a property manager did not want to talk on camera. Since News 9's
first story aired, residents have contacted News 9 with similar maintenance and
water woes.

"Drop the lease, and I'll move," said Bennett. "I'll find
somewhere to go even if I have to go to a shelter. It's better than being here
with my kids and them being sick."

Since Ashton Place representatives will not talk, it is still a
mystery as to where much of the water is coming from.
